Post subject:  Re: Baluda Slope Strength Indicators

hi all,

first of all thanks to balluda for his awesome coding work and his indicators. They inspired me to do some great analysis. Since his indicators did not everything I wanted to do, I did some rework of his indicators.

This indicator was never meant to be released in the public. I also don't want to insult baluda since i removed his copyrights and also renamed the indicator. I developed this indicator solely for my trading and for analysis purposes only.

But since I think that it is very useful and on the fact that i gained a wealth of knowledge here I thought that I can give a little back.

Description:
TMA based Currency Slope Strength for Single Pair Charts (TMA-CSS-SP)
based on CurrencySlopeStrength.mq4 and CSSDiff from Baluga

This Indicator shows only the CSS for the two currencies on the active chart.
The CSS Value is calculated as the original from baluda.
It is only reduced to pairs that are relevant to the current chart.


Changes:
  • fontsize selectable
    calculate and show only the Slope and Values for the current Pair
    timeframe selectable
    added Diff Line that shows the difference between the two CSS as Value, as a third slope or as a histogram
    the histogram Level can be changed
    all slope views can be enabled/disabled
    added Alerts for Level Crosses
    TMAtrue Mode that prevents any so-called 'repainting'
    optimized overal execution speed (about half the time)
    unique window id so you can put up to 10 Indicators on 1 chart
external Parameters:
  • general Settings
    autoSymbols - set to true to let SlopeStrength use all symbols available in the Market Watch window. Overrules 'symbolsToWeigh'
    symbolsToWeigh - comma delimited list of symbols to use.
    maxBars - limits the history to this number of candles, set to 0 to disable
    font - font to use
    fontSize - fontsize to use
    tmaTrueMode - usees the TMAtrue calculation, prevents any so-called 'repainting'

    Line/Histo Settings
    showDiffLine - enable/disable the view of the Diffline
    showBaseLine - enable/disable the view of the CurrencyBase line (1st Currency of the Pair)
    showCrossLine - enable/disable the view of the CurrencyCross line (2nd Currency of the Pair)
    showHisto - enable/disable Histogramm Mode;
    histoLevel - set Histogramm Level where the color changes

    Timeframe
    autoTimeFrame - set to true to use the timeframe of the chart, this overrules 'timeFrame'
    timeFrame - set to one of the values indicated (M1,M5,M15,M30,H1,H4,D1,W1,MN1)

    Colors
    colorCurrencyBase - color for the Base Currency Line and Value
    colorCurrencyCross - color for the Cross Currency Line and Value
    colorDiff - color for the Diff Line and Value
    lineColorRange - color for the ranging area of the Histogram
    lineColorOverLevel - color for over defined level of the Histogram
    lineColorUnderLevel - color for below defined level of the Histogram

    Alerts
    useAlerts - enable/disable alerts
    emailAlert - enable/disable email alerts
    popupAlert - enable/disable popup alerts
    soundAlert - enable/disable sound alerts
    soundFileName - set your prefered alertsound (only for sound Alerts)
    diffCrossAlerts - enable/disable crossing alerts ( I had more alert Modes before )
    diffAlertLevel1-5 - enable/disable alert levels (99 vor disable)
Examples:
nt tma-css-sp h1,h4,d1 analysis with all slopes.gif
nt tma-css-sp h1,h4,d1 analysis with disff slope only.gif
nt tma-css-sp h1,h4,d1 analysis with diff histo only level 0.8.gif
nt tma-css-sp h1,h4,d1 analysis with diff histo only level 0.4.gif
I release this as ex4 only for now. If you want to use some setups more often save them as templates for now.

For EA developers who are interested in the buffers:

Code: Select all

	if ( !showHisto ) {
		IndicatorBuffers(3);
		
		SetIndexBuffer ( 0, arrCurrencyBase );
		SetIndexLabel ( 0, currencyBase );
		
		SetIndexBuffer ( 1, arrCurrencyCross );
		SetIndexLabel ( 1, currencyCross );
		
		SetIndexBuffer ( 2, lineCSSDiff );
		SetIndexLabel ( 2, "Slope Difference" );
	}
	
	if ( showHisto ) {

		IndicatorBuffers(4);
		
		SetIndexBuffer ( 0, lineCSSDiff );
		SetIndexLabel ( 0, "Slope Difference" );

		SetIndexBuffer ( 1, lineOver8CSSDiff );
		SetIndexLabel ( 1, "CSSDiffOver8" );

		SetIndexBuffer ( 2, lineUnder8CSSDiff );
		SetIndexLabel ( 2, "CSSDiffUnder8" );

		SetIndexBuffer ( 3, lineRangingCSSDiff );
		SetIndexLabel ( 3, "CSSDiffRange" );
}

Hope you enjoy this and wish you happy trading, ohh.. its weekend...than happy testing or happy analysis.... ;)

I don't know what you want to tell me?
If you want to tell me that baluda also based his work on other partys...i know this.
If you want to tell me that i should put more credits or copyright information in this than i must say that, as i clearly said in my message, I didn't intended to release this to the public. I developed it solely for me and therefor had put my own header with my own copyright in it as i do with all code I develop or recode. That way i know what code is already redone with my coding standards.

You are welcome... ;)
This is baludas Thread and i just put it here because it is related to his indicators. Since i work also on some other indicators maybe i will open my own thread and also release the sources.

From the replies it appears that it doesn't seem to have much value for most of the people here.
Will see...

happy trading,

Neo, thanks for sharing your great work and brilliant ideas on this topic. I encourage you to continue although it seems that nobody is interested, but do not consider that this is really.
And do not worry too much about the copyrigth, for all we know deeply the system know who are involved in its development.

and a second one... ;) Thank you too ....

I know that it is downloaded 50 times...but maybe all only hunter-gatherer ;)

It would be interesting to know how u all use this indicator...and to have a little exchange of experiences or informations you gathered.

With all respect and if you have some time, it may be possible to add a mtf function to the previous list? especially to see what´s happend in lower TF´s e.g: Current TF=daily, Lower TF=H4. That would be possible?
Thank you in advance.

You can do this with my version. Just drag the indicator a second time on the chart and set autoTimeFrame to false and give your desired TF in the parameter "timeFrame".

Look at the pictures in my release message. There you will see that the indicator is working in three different TFs at once...and you can open up to 10 indicator windows with different settings on one chart.

happy trading,

Adding my vote, I'm using it too. Consistent with Baluda's indi but lower overhead. Thanks. :)
